Set the computer and xbox to receive ip addresses automatically (not
static ip). Remove ics from the laptop entirely (it's not required).
Create a network bridge between the wired and wireless interfaces on
the laptop.

Jason,

In general, here's how to find out the address of your router. On your
laptop:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Open Control Panel, click on "Network Connections", then click on
"Wireless Network Connection". A Wireless Connection Status box appears.

2. Click on the "Support" tab, then click on the "Details..." button.

3. You will now see the network connection details. The "Default
Gateway" address is the address of your router. It will almost certainly
look like x.y.z.1 (that is, the last digit is usually a "1"), in one of
these address ranges:
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

For example, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 10.3.4.1 or 172.17.18.1.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can then login to the router and discover the DHCP address range.

However, I am not familiar with the ICS. Does ICS supply an IP address
to the XBOX, in a similar way to the router supplying an address to the
laptop, or does the XBOX get its address from the router, I wonder?

Or, to put it another way, does ICS acts as a switch, so that your XBOX
is on the same network as your laptop, or does ICS act as a router, so
that the XBOX is on a different network?

If the ICS acts as a switch, then your XBOX address needs to be on the
same network as your laptop and router. For example, if your router
address is 192.168.15.1, it is on the 192.168.15 network. Then, if you
want to fix your XBOX address, you need to choose an address like
192.168.15.n, where n is not "1" or "255", and is outside the DHCP
address range.

If the ICS acts as a router, I don't know how you get it to serve an
address to the XBOX. As someone else in this thread suggested, you may
need to ask your question in an XBOX group. From what you say, I suspect
that SP3 has compromised the operation of ICS somehow.

However, here's another fundamental question: as you already have a
router, can't you connect the XBOX direct to the router, and forget
about ICS altogether? According to one of the forums
(http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/15...connected.html) it
seems you will get a faster throughput and you won't need to have the PC
switched on at the same time. And whatever SP3 did to your laptop won't
matter.

When you've cracked it, please come back and let us know what you did. I
for one am very interested.

Hope this helps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


It won't work because with the laptop having ics installed, it will
have a static address of 192.168.0.1 which isn't configurable to
anything else. The gateway information being sought would be imparted
to the laptop as part of the dhcp process but it isn't getting its
address by dhcp.


You can then login to the router and discover the DHCP address range.

However, I am not familiar with the ICS. Does ICS supply an IP address
to the XBOX, in a similar way to the router supplying an address to the
laptop, or does the XBOX get its address from the router, I wonder?


ICS has its own dhcp service which can't be switched off so the xbox
will get an ip address from the laptop in a similar manner to other
pc's (except those running ics) getting an address from the router.


Or, to put it another way, does ICS acts as a switch, so that your XBOX
is on the same network as your laptop, or does ICS act as a router, so
that the XBOX is on a different network?


It's a router to a different network.


If the ICS acts as a switch, then your XBOX address needs to be on the
same network as your laptop and router. For example, if your router
address is 192.168.15.1, it is on the 192.168.15 network. Then, if you

You are right about this bit. Indeed it can connect direct to the
router. However, he will probably want to use the xbox wirelessly ie
located somewhere near the laptop rather than somewhere near the
router so it can be plugged in. The simplest way of achieving that is
by bridging the wired and wireless interfaces on the laptop but it can
also be achieved in a more complex configuration by routing.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb457038.aspx


According to one of the forums
(http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/15...connected.html) it
seems you will get a faster throughput and you won't need to have the PC
switched on at the same time. And whatever SP3 did to your laptop won't
matter.



I think it's faster too but some archive posts to this newsgroup
suggest there's little in it between connecting as suggested and
"double natting" using ics.


When you've cracked it, please come back and let us know what you did. I
for one am very interested.

Hope this helps.

Default fixing IP Address

ok here is another thing that just happened last night.

I was taking all of the advice in this thread into consideration, and was
checking everything and going back to my starting point. I opened network
connections, chose wireless network connections (my laptops connection to the
router) and then clicked properties. i think scrolled down to the bottom
choice, i forget the name right now, as i am not on my computer it was
something like icmp icl or something like that, but then i clicked the
advanced tab in it and then clicked settings on the first option, which
brought me to an allow these networks to be assigned ip addresses, and my
xbox wasnt checked, so i checked it. i tested my connection to xbox live and
it worked, i was playing for a while and then it stopped again, telling me
the dns couldnt resolve my IP address. so i tried everything over and
everything was the same as it was when it was working. i tried repairing
connection, refreshing IP's, and resetting connection, and then the IP
Confirm test failed again. I checked my settings and they were the same as
before, so far that i can tell. but now, my XBOX live doesnt work, and when
i turn the XBOX on and it is connected to the computer, my internet doesnt
work, and when i turn off the XBOX, my internet works. i dont get that.

If the ICS acts as a router, I don't know how you get it to serve an
address to the XBOX. As someone else in this thread suggested, you may
need to ask your question in an XBOX group. From what you say, I suspect
that SP3 has compromised the operation of ICS somehow.

However, here's another fundamental question: as you already have a
router, can't you connect the XBOX direct to the router, and forget
about ICS altogether? According to one of the forums
(http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/15...connected.html) it
seems you will get a faster throughput and you won't need to have the PC
switched on at the same time. And whatever SP3 did to your laptop won't
matter.

When you've cracked it, please come back and let us know what you did. I
for one am very interested.

Hope this helps.

Default fixing IP Address


and also, the reason i do not use a direct connection because my xbox is
further away than 50 ft for the direct connection via ethernet cord, and i do
not want to do the work of wiring a router up in the attic to use two cords
or possibly three

Set the computer and xbox to receive ip addresses automatically (not
static ip). Remove ics from the laptop entirely (it's not required).
Create a network bridge between the wired and wireless interfaces on
the laptop.

You don't need a router in the attic. That is what a network bridge on
the xp laptop is designed to accommodate.

If you remove ics, install the bridge and set the laptop to get an ip
address automatically (wirelessly) from the router, when you plug the
xbox into the laptop, the bridge will transparently allow the xbox to
get its ip address and gateway details from the router as if it was
wireless itself.
